Age: 29 Action hero cred: Traded paint and one-liners in The Fast and the Furious movies, recently named the next Wonder Woman

Our reasoning: Fans have been waiting years for a Wonder Woman movie, but for anybody who’s voiced their concerns (like, ahem, Expendables 3’s Ronda Rousey) that the 5’10” Gadot is too scrawny to properly play the Amazonian superhero in the upcoming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, it’s worth noting that the actress does all her own stunts. Credit two years of compulsory military duty in her native Israel. And while Gadot may have checked out of the Fast and Furious franchise, the former Miss Universe contestant has a good chance to start nabbing the kinds of roles that used to be tailor-made for Angelina Jolie.
